SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- The Sherlock two-finger roll scanner from Integrated Biometrics (IntegratedBiometrics.com), developer of the world’s smallest and lightest FBI-compliant fingerprint scanners, has been successfully integrated into AMREL’s Flexpedient® AT80B Rugged Tablet. Weighing only 60 grams, Sherlock is ergonomically easy to use; does not recognize latent prints; operates in direct sunlight; doesn’t generate light when used in darkness; is durable and shock-resistant; is always on automatic self calibration; and resistant to finger contaminants such as grease, oil, water, dust and chemicals.

“Sherlock has multiple applications for military, law enforcement, airport and border security, financial institutions and health care,” Thies explained, adding, “Our patented LES film is durable and shockproof and has been tested to over one million touches without impact on image quality.”

The lightweight Flexpedient AT80B Android tablet reflects AMREL’s 30 years of experience in crafting rugged and flexible mobile solutions. This compact tablet boasts an impressive IP67 rating, which makes it ideal for operating in challenging environments. The sunlight readable display has a special optical bonding designed for durability and legibility.

“The rugged Sherlock is a good match for AT80B tablet,” explained Richard Lane, AMREL’s VP for strategic business development, adding, “Designed for quick customization, the AT80B easily integrated the Sherlock sensor, while preserving the tablet’s extraordinary structural strength. The new rugged biometric device handles and acts as if it were built form the ground up as a single tough operational unit.”

“Already we have seen interest in the Flexpedient AT80B tablet for combat, first responders, and event applications. It’s ideal for field enrollment, which can save a police officer a trip to the booking station. Since it is rugged, it is reliable at a critical moment,” Lane said.
